Very Insightful Look Into Brandon Roy's Struggles Since Basketball

He is not employed by the Blazers in any capacity so this makes zero sense.

 

I once despised Quick, literally clumped him in with Canzano. But listening to the podcast and reading his Athletic articles has 100% changed my mind. He is talented and insightful and now--I mean, I disagree that Nurk isn't tough and I actually confronted him for panning a restaurant in a tweet that went out over B/R--he hands down has the best articles on the Blazers. No one else even comes close at all.

And to defend his prior work, which I didn't like at the time, perhaps some of it was true--like maybe LA was a prima donna and Gerald Wallace was a malcontent and so forth--and I just didn't want to hear it at the time. Or maybe he is human and now he has refined his craft. I respect that you are an you're-either-in-or-out guy, but you're missing some good Blazer content because of your stance. Also, Quick clearly isn't that kind of guy, but does he need to be? And he clearly cares about this team and these guys, especially Dame...

I remember that so well because I sided with CJ. I mean, I was stunned. I despised Quick then and thought it was just more of the same. But strangely, ever since that tweet, I've noticed that CJ is pretty dirty.

 

Clueless is all i can say.

 

The guy doesn't spend 17-18 years being a douchebag and then just magically change.

 

Are you reading his articles? They are great.

 

I'm kind of thinking maybe he wasn't a douchebag is what I'm saying. Sheed didn't like him, but Sheed was a difficult dude to get along with (ask all referees). Maybe I need to go back and read some of the older articles, but I too was a fuck Quick guy (lol). I don't know. Just read the articles now; like I've said before, they are great. You will find no better insight into your team, period.

 

He has nightmares primarily because he was shot a few years ago.

He is coaching at his alma matter, Garfield High School. He has won two state championships as a coach, one with Garfield in 2018 and one with Nathan Hale High School in 2017. He was also named the Naismith National High School Coach of the Year in 2017.

 

His life has been a tangled story, that's for sure.

Has a coach who builds everything around him/doesn't like him.
Becomes a NBA star/loses it prematurely to injury.
Makes 10 of millions/loses it to divorce.
Has spectacular success as a newly minted coach/gets shot for unexplained reasons.

I do feel sympathy for him. I just wish he understood what he meant to the team and the fans.

 

We should not retire Roy's jersey. I'm sorry. Numbers shouldn't be retired based on emotions. There are already way too many numbers hanging in the rafters that don't belong there.

 

Cj is dirty? Wow your fucked up. Cj has never done anything wrong what he do to you ?

 

no its not. No article is worth a five dollar read. If it was in print in a paper or magazine maybe.

think about this. 10,000 people pay five dollars to read the article. 50k for one article??????

i wont support a rip off offer.
He already gets paid a salary.

 

I was starting how much the monthly price for the athletic is...?

 

which is where he posted the article correct?

im sure im in the minority but i believe information should be free.
I believe it will remove most opinion based articles trying to win over a sect of the population and lead to more honest, unbiased views and reports.
Just not a fan of paying to read an article.
Let me read the article and if i like it i will then subscribe. But don't make me pay just to see if i will like the article.
Kinda like what you do.

“Check me out. If you like it, please donate. “

thats the right way in my opinion and i hope you personally don't change that.

 

even worse!!! I thought it was a one time five dollar fee but its a reaccuring charge of five dollars a month?

sorry. Ask if I'm willing to donate that. Don't force me to pay it.

and im not a quick hater. Just a realist with my money and how the media works.

 

Yeah you will get to pay for it and still get hit with ads in some form or another.

 

Jaynes responds to Quick
And you don't have to pay for it.

 

Ha Ha Ha!
And Quick returns with this!

 

The funniest part is Quick was just an up and comer looking for crumbs when Jaynes had the real story.
Now People think Quick has the real deal and Jaynes is an outsider. Could not be further from the truth.
